Wills Point Man Beaten

WILLS POINT — Wills Point authorities are looking for a man who severely beat a World War II veteran. It began Friday night when C.D. Whittington answered a knock at the door. He asked if there was a lady there and when Whittington said no, the man started beating him. KETK-TV reports the suspect then asked for money. When Whittington said he had no money, the beating continued.

After putting on rubber gloves and putting a knife to the victim�s head, the suspect started tearing up the house looking for money. The suspect eventually broke into Whittington’s file cabinet with a wallet inside. He wasn�t happy that there was only $105 in the wallet. After the man left, Whittington called authorities. The suspect was described as a black male between 18 to 30 years of age. He was wearing a blue and white striped shirt.
